Senor Vsliata, ag vt if the Cuban revolution.
1sts, has issued an addlrees to the American people.
After reciting the g vmnces long endured by the
Cubans under the civil and military tyranny of
Spain, and their previous dlsatrous attempts to
throw c.l the yoke, he says the revolution has
steadily grown, promising to 'eallse all the hopes
of the patriots. The Cuban 1.berating army is
steadily increasing and now comprises 42,000 men.
Their lines run in a westerly direction to Sagus ia
t;rasde, without reaching the seLboard either
north or south, or the necessary arma~ent to hold
it; but the territory pointed out is nearly two
thirds of Cuba, in which slavery has been abolish
ed. In the remainder of the island, no uprising
has occurred for want of arms.
The address concludes: "Cuba is fairly started
on her way to national independence. Her sons,
lighting for it these six months without violation
of your neutrality laws, are entitled to the earnest
sympathy of your people, a&d more so as their
struggle involves the American principle that no
European power shall control any country upon
this hemisphere."

'"FAIoR s Il iiTE SULLY FOK TiM FinLD."-
('hsrter Ock, Brilliant and Times--auch are the
euphotlons appellations of the three .oost cele
brated stoves which are now strcggling for sn
;remacy in the field of riva:ry.
None of our readers are ignorant of the high
rei itation already established by the former, or
that the ladge of distinction was awarded the
ltilsnt at the Agricultural Fair of IM1;, although
t'ut few are aware that in presenting the latter
hefore the community, Mesers. Auche & Zible are
itriging forward a champion whose fame, thomgh
I on laratively a stranger to us. Is evident:y des
tined to exercise a powerful intluence upon publio
opinion a peerless piece of mechanism, faultless
in symmetry and perfect in every arrrangement.
It,. cEhief atrection is the simplicity which charac
terizes it, while its capacity for pleasing seems
stamped upon its tascinating exterior which claims
your admiration.
So sanguine are these gentlemen of its merits
that they have thrown down the gauntlet to its
,'!cstric's opponents, the Oek and Brilliant, chal
lenging them to a trial of skill at any place that
may be designated within the next ten days. This
contest for superiority promises to be an excitting
one, and as we have no doubt that the offer will be
readily accepted, can only observe thata pleasant
and satisfactory result may be anticipated, when
an impartial judgment shall have rendered a de
f cislon.
THIRD ANIUAL STATE FAIR.
TENTH DAY. a
The weather, which has been windy and chilly
for the past two day-, necessarily interfered with
the attendance at the fair again yesterday, and

ticles of Interest already noticed. The most uno
concerned of the individuals present at the Fair f,
Grounds wee the man who keeps the pipe break.

wind, Instead of interfering with him, assisted in
causing the shots from his customers to deviate,
and Ben. Butler, who holds in hid mouth the pipes b
that are aimed at by his customers, receives less
blows from the sticks thrown at the Beast. It
is a true adage which says that it's an ill wind t
that blows nobody good. Otherwise, even on the I
dancing platform matters looked comparatively a
dull. v

THE GRAIN TRADE.
MEETING OF TIHE CIIAMBEB OF
COMMERCE. ps

Ni
There was a special meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce held last evening in accordance with
previous announcement, to consider what steps ,
may be taken by our merchants looking to co. fin
operation with those of St. Louis in attracting let
hither the grain trade of the West; also to con
eider any propositions that may be made in refer by
ence to the present system of flour inspection in
this city. 8.
A numerous assemblage was present. A com- n
munication was read by the president, G. A. A i
Fotdick, Esq., from Meears. Blayback, Camore and tbh
other gentlemen, regarding a call of the Cham. oel
Ler of Commerce. Mr. Fosdick in a few remarks
dwelt upon the grain trade and Its importance to to
the commercial interests of New Orleans. the
Dispatches from Messrs. Blayback and others urn
were read as follows, viz:

Mr. Oglesby was of opinion that the notice of pis
the meeting had not been long enough published wh
to give it the publicity desired. He read a die- Th

in New Orleans, as follows: the

There could be but one opinion, Mr. O. said, on
as to the importance of such an organization; ey
the falling oil ou the cottoa trade had created a
grain elevator movement here, he showed how re
many advantages in the wry to its encourage- in
ment had been lost by cur merchants. After re
capitulating the well known facts in reference to in
the transportation of grain, and the rate per in
bushel, Mr. Oglesby went on to say that the tb
proper way in which to meet thil matter was to
through the banks. Money could be borrowed on th
warehouse receipts In Western cities, but no tic
money would be loaned here on such a basis. no
The market, too, should, he thought, be stocked wi
with grain, so that all orders on arrival might at in,
once be filed. The other day an order for wheat an
arrived, but could not be filled, for the grain was dii
not here. Yet, said the speaker, sixteen years T,
since only sixtyasix bushels of grain had in one Cs
year been received in Chicago, while now there I
are annually received sixty-six mitlions of w
busehels. tbe
Being asked in reference to the employment of an
capital from Chiosqo to move the grain, the cr
speaker replied that be had no reference to the mar
kets of Chicago, but only to the necessities of fot
New Orleans. ye
A report of a meeting held in St. Louts, urging ai
the measure cintemplated, and calling upon mer- he
chants to contribute means, was read from the St. es
Louis Democrat.
Mr. Borwell remarked that the object of the so
meeting there referred to was simply to raise mi
1200,000 for the purpose of encouraging the Ict
trade. He then went on to speak at some length, aL
dwelling with much interest upon the merits of ch
the grain trade, its machinery, negotiable certifi
cates, etc. He suggested the establishment of a
line of propcllers between this and ultimate ports. p
New Or!eanri holds the grain trade in her hand if
ehe will tout grasp it; if not, others will. The pn
cotton t~ede commerces in October and ends in as
Mvy. What sre our merchants to do in the other At
monthe? The grain could not be stored here as
in Chicago, but it could be transported.
Mr. Dolhonde was of opinion that the elevator EC
here oflt, rs as many facilities for storage and dry
ing sp can be found in Chicago. dl
Mr. Tucker soegeated tbathoe did not seae whyour
n;tr( lardt * bi:,uld i:: rely bi, agents for St. Lou's
i this. matter; tlts was not the way to inaugu
rate aIthrough grain trade.
Mr. Ogleshy ex, reseed his dissent from Mr. be
Pourwell's op:n;lo Lhat grain coulI not be stored R
here. He tho-uht there was no diffi.:ulty on thisr
c oiLt. The demand for grain here is increasing
daily; in a week from thia half a million bushels gli

saylng little or nothing, has suddenly broken out
in an oratorical way more astonishing than pleas
ant.
After closing my letter yesterday, I passed
over to the Senate Chamber and found the senator
in one of his spasms of talk. He is not distinguIsh
ed by his personal get up, nor attractive from his
graces of oratory. Small of statore, and very
slender, he throws his little round skull forward
from his shoulders like the figure-head of a vessel,
and jerks his words out In a crack-whip sort of a
way that is made yet more striking by the jerky
restloulation with which he accompanies them.
He reminds one of that feeble-minded Tits Bar
nacle by a continual contest with his gold rimmed
eye-glosses that will not remain on his nose.
ie was attacking the Providence Journal, that
Efhbsi ot n uties. uad mace unhppy. The
reference was well understood, and the paper said
in the mildest way precisely what his brother
senators thought, and the pahlic openly asserts,
and that is, that the honorable little senator is not
in his right mind. These are the sort of stories
in circulation about Washington. It is said that
the senator is mad.
Hearing these, I must say I was somewhat as
tonolshed while listening to the little senator from
the little State. He was not talking like a luna
tie by any manner of means. His address was
not the most polished or in the beet taste, but it'
was full of meaning, statistical facts, and what I
consider sound sense. Do you know, after read
ing the results of David A. Welle's investigation,
and being well aware myself of the unhappy con
dition of the country, the shrill, clear, earnest
voice of the senator, coming up from such a
strange place, sounded to me like the unspired
Cassandra foretelling rain and disaster.
Senator Sprague and his brother are said to be
worth over thirty millions. He is the head, the
business manager and guide in the vast operations
that involve towns and counties, buge factories
and thousands of laborers: and yet here he is,
crying out ruin, and warning us that our financial
policy means bankruptcy. He may be insane, but
for dII that utters a deal of good sena. He said
yesterday: " I am not troubled about my private
aairs. They are well enough. I have what I
have through a process that has crushed others
engaged in the same pursuits as myself."
Of course he need not trouble himself. We have
so legislated that money takes care of itself, and
makes money. The small capitalists and meohan
ice and laborers alone suffer. The rich grow richer
and the poor poorer.-[Wash. letter to the Cin
